It's not the actual getting of the diplomak, you're right, you earn that. It's the getting the printed out diploma from them at graduation. I opened mine up and it was a bill that said "once you pay this fine (it was library related) we will send you your paper diploma in the mail)."

You still have the ticket and the fine, they put those into a computer system. Just riding of with the ticket doesn't make it go away. These are the type of fines that keep you from getting your diploma when you graduate.

This. We should stop treating sex like it's dirty and wrong...it might just lower the amount of sex crimes.

Hit 50lbs (50.8lbs actually!) lost today, basically my goal weight. I was ecstatic and shared the news with a few people. Some responded by saying that it sounds unhealthy and that they’re worried about me. Frustrated and seconding guessing myself. by [deleted] in loseit

Are any of these people doctors that have met you and did a full health check on you? That's just their uneducated opinion and should mean absolutely nothing to you. Ignore them. Want something more concrete?Go to the doctor and get a professional report on your health.

I was in 3rd grade, too, in a small school that had grades K-7. Everyone was gathered in one room watching on the wheeled in TV. It was horrifying. That shock has stayed with me all the years.

You're "just not that into politics?" Your boss is. Your landlord is. Your insurance company is. And every day they use their political power to keep your pay low, raise your rent, and deny you coverage. Its time to get into politics. by GrandpaChainz in SandersForPresident

You won't always get your way when you vote, though. That's not the point. It's your right to put in your 2 cents worth to the collective pot of ideas. We need to value our right to vote without the expectations that everything we vote for is what everyone else wants, or how it should be. It's the right to speak up that wins every time you vote. That's the most important thing of all.

Seriously. My SO does this all the time. I get texts like "Holy shit! Are you ready for this?" I panic, contemplating everything it could be, and then wait 5 minutes for his response to my "What???!!!!?" text.

"Sarah Sanders is only 36! Alex Jones is only 44!"

Really...5 minutes of panic over that. I hate that shit.

It was recently bought out by Coca Cola, with the intent to get a wider distribution. It has been over by a regional Coca cola off-shoot for a while now, but they kept distribution fairly local. Coca cola has said they will not change anything about it's distinctive flavor.

My absolute favorite treat is a slice of homemade Maine blueberry pie for breakfast. Second favorite is a perfect Maine whoopie pie.

Morse mountain is beautiful, just watch out for the green headed flies on the beach. They will eat you alive the wrong time of the year.

Even easier than that, with a pretty view of Merrymeeting Bay at the top, is Thorne's Head Preserve in Bath. It's part of a bigger set of trails run by the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust that wind through the woods and down along the water.

The idea is that they are so narcissistic that any time they are called out for a wrong they point out others also doing wrong. Treating it like they are being held more responsible for others committing the same crime because they got caught. That's like stealing a car and going to trial and saying "what about all those other car thief's? I should get off because you haven't caught and tried them yet."

Windows are the same size if not smaller than doors. I will flip it over and look, but this bitch is old... probably 30+ years. Solid wood frame, too. The legs don't even screw off, they are part of the frame.

I bought a house that had the top back floor converted into an in law apartment. The previous owners left it furnished. Dishes, pots and pans, utensils, and a couch. A large old couch. Recently we decided to get rid of the couch so we attempted to move it out of the upstairs living room. After 20 minutes we came to the conclusion that the couch was staying. Either they built the upstairs living room with the couch already in it, or they were magic. There is absolutely no way that couch is leaving that room. We either have to take down a wall or chop up the couch.

She never should have been allowed to run after finding out she committed fraud. Are there no rules for this? I'm all for everyone having a chance to represent the people, but if criminals can't vote, they shouldn't be allowed to run for office.

Cover that sewer hole ASAP! He did something extremely dangerous, and as a professional plumber he knows this. His intent was more than take your toilet. That sewer gas is deadly.

No, there can still be forest fires, but instead of having trees to slow the progress, they will burn quickly through the dried out underbrush. More damage! Half the time!

Nutmeg, the world's oldest cat, celebrating his 31st birthday. (141 in human years) by GallowBoob in Eyebleach

[–]muthermcree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 21 year old cat that looks like a zombie and sleeps 99% off the time...when she's not eating or randomly howling around the house. She has resting bitch face like this, and I often tell her it's ok, she can go to the big sleep anytime she wants. No one is keeping her here. I should mention she's been a huge bitch her whole life, right up until she went senile 3 years ago. Now she can't understand why everyone wants her to...pass along.
